Which radars cover Eton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHTX (Huntsville, AL), about 75 miles west. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over Eton	View
KHTX Huntsville, AL	75 mi west	6,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KFFC Atlanta, GA	102 mi south	9,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMRX Knoxville, TN	120 mi northeast	12,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
